Hilarious Play 
Set Jan. 17, IB 

Intensive rehearsal is being held 
by the all-star cast of "Our Hearts 
Were Young and Gay" in readiness 
for presentation of the play Friday 
and Saturday nights, January 17 
and 18 in Wood-Mar hall auditor- 
ium. Miss Charlotte Macy is di- 
recting the production. 

Bethel Herndon and Mildred 
Thiesen take the lead roles as Cor- 
nelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kim- 
brough, who are the main char- 
acters in this hilarious comedy. 
Dick Winters is played by Ben 
Franklin and Lew McEvoy is en- 
acted by Dick Cadd. Others in the 
cast are: Winifred Flaugh, Anne 
Moore; Harriet St. John, Jeanne 
Woodward; the inspector, Esther 
Mae Moor; Therese, Mary Jack- 
son; Madame Elsie, Anne Moore; 
Monsieure della Croix, Don John- 
son; the steward, Melvin Veale; 
the purser; Leroy Nifert, the 
stewardess, Mary Jackson; the ad- 
miral, Johnny Sommons, and the 
window cleaner, Vern Brightup. 

The story of the play is a fam- 
iliar one, having been adapted 
from the best seller by the same 
name. It has been made into a 
movie, and has been widely used 
throughout the United States by 
amateur groups. 

Authentic 1920 costumes will be 
obtained to heighten the atmos- 
phere of gaiety. Those taking care 
of the costuming, publicity and 
other business matters pertaining 
to the play have not been announc- 
td yet by the directors. 

This is the annual student body 
play. Last year an all-student 
body cast gave "Wind in the 
South," a timely story of a re- 
turned veteran and his problems in 
adjusting to new conditions.

TO PHOTOGRAPHER Clarence Palmer goes credit for a historic shot for PC's history book as he 
catches Centers Craven, (left), Pacific, and Samuekon for Lewis and Clark, begin their leaps for the open- 
ing tip-off of the first game ever played in the Quaker's brand new Hester Memorial gym. Others players 
from left to right: Forgson C8J, H. Kelsey (10), Hadley, Pacific, (4), and Ludloyr, .Lewis- and Clark. Referee

By HARLOW ANKENY 
Crescent Sports Editor 

Brrr . . . We are still thinking 
of that opening tilt in the Hester 
Memorial gym two weeks ago to- 
day. Minus any kind of a heating 
facility and with about half of the 
windows still out, the Pacific col- 
lege five played host to a game 
Lewis and Clark outfit. Both teams 
came from the dressing rooms, 
which were just as the court, with 
warmups, trousers and gloves on 
trying to brave the draft which 
seemed to be near sub zero calibre. 

We'll not forget for quite a 
while the problem we had trying 
to keep our writing hand warm 
enough to keep score, but thanks 
to Boy Clark, referee for the fra- 
cus, we easily solved that prob- 
lem with a pair of heavy wool 
knit gloves. And then there was 
the final team, which Coach Hln- 
shaw put In, dressed in various 
types of garb Including warmups. 

Yep, it was quite a game — unus- 
ual, and one for the books in as 
much as it was the first game ever 
played in the new Hester Memor- 
ial gym. Both teams showed good 
sportsmanship, and everyone leav- 
ing the game afterwards — carry- 
ing with them their many blankets 
— must have felt as we do, that 
this game was only a preview of 
what is to come with the addition 
of the new sport plant on the cam- 
pus. 

Hint Department 

We don't profess to be any kind 
of an adviser to the coach or any 
one as far as that goes, but we 
believe we have a pretty good sug- 
gestion when we forward this idea 
to those concerned: How about 
putting the three Alaskans in a 
game at the same time sometime 
and see how they work together. 

The three Indians — Arnold 
Booth, Ray Baines and Clyde 
Faber, are said to be from the 
same town in Alaska and are all 
three used to the same style of 



ball. By the way, they seem to be 
plenty speedy and fairly accurate 
on their shots. 'Tis only a sugges- 
tion, but it may prove worthwhile 
sometime, at least for a try. 
What They Mean 

Several people have asked what 
the FG, FT, PF and TP meant in 
the tabulation of the scoring for 
basketball games. Well, we had 
the same trouble a few years back 
and had we not started to write 
sports, probably would still be hav- 
ing that trouble. So an explanation 
of the abbreviations is in order: 
GF means field goals; FT means 
free throws made; PF means per- 
sonal fouls, that is, fouls inflicted 
by the individual player mention- 
ed; and TP simply means total 
points. Hope that solves some 
people's questions. 
No Results of Clark Junior 

We are very sorry that there are 
no results of the Clark Jr. college- 
Pacific college game which was 
played on the Hester court Satur- 
day, December 21. Christmas va- 
cation had just started and we 
were not able to get back into 
town. We will try to write it up 



PRAYER FOR THE 
NEW YEAR 

Our Father, through the com- 
ing year 

We know not what shall be; 

But we would leave without a 
fear 

It's ordering all to Thee. 

It may be we shall toil in vain 
For what the world holds fair; 
And all the good we thought to 
gain, 

Deceive and prove but care. 

It may be it shall darkly blend 
Our love with anxious fears, 
And snatch away the valued 

friends 
The tried of many years. 

But calmly, Lord, on Thee we 
rest; 

No fear our trust shall move; 
Thou knowest what for each is 
best, 

And Thou art perfect love. 

— Anon. 



and compile scoring today, and it 
will probably be posted for public 
reading on the bulletin board 
across from room 17. 



Swanson- Antrim Betrothal 
Announced New Year's Eve 



Dan Cupid scores again with the 
announcement New Year's eve that 
the wedding bells are to ring for 
another P.C. couple, Eleanor Swan- 
son and Wayne Antrim. The wed- 
ding date has been set as June, 
1948. 

Miss Swanson, a member of the 
junior class whose home address 
is Portland, Oregon, lists music as 
her major subject (Tho' not her 
major interest!) She is editor of 
the 1947 yearbook, the L'Ami, and 
is one of the most active students 
on the campus, having been pre- 
sented in both vocal and violin re- 
citals. 



Although Wayne attended Pa- 
cific in 1941 his studies were inter- 
rupted by a three-year hitch in the 
United States Coast Guard. The 
fair-haired sociology and econom- 
ics major hails from Nampa, Ida- 
ho and is in the sophomore class. 
Wayne played an active football 
season and is at present on the 
basketball team although he also 
holds several offices, among them 
the post of choir business man- 
ager. 

The couple intends to make 
Nampa their permanent home, 
where Wayne has his eye on a 
business career.

Quakers Drop 
Gym Opener To 
Pioneers, 58-13 

Pacific's basketball Quakers, yet 
to hit the win column this year in 
the cage sport, didn't make such 
a good showing as they inaugurat- 
ed the use of their new Hester 
Memorial gym on the campus two 
weeks ago, December 17. The Lewis 
and Clark Pioneers completely 
dominated the scoring books in 
blossoming forth with a fast 
downcourt passing game and spill- 
ed the locals by an impressive 58-13 
count. 

It was a cold, damp night in the 
Hester court, as the gym's heat- 
ing plant had not yet been install- 
ed; but the fair-sized college 
crowd, which witnessed the tussle, 
saw some of the hottest and fast- 
est ball playing yet seen this year. 

Although the game will not go 
down in the history of Pacific as 
a win for the Quakers, it will be 
remembered in the books as the 
first game ever to be played on the 
Memorial court. The huge layout, 
which is the maximum standard 
size of basketball courts, was al- 
most enough to wear down the 
stamina of both teams after rac- 
ing back and forth for several 
rounds. 

The Pioneers' Harold Kelsey, 
highpointer for the evening, drew 
first blood by taking the tipoff 
and dribbling down the side for 
any easy layin. From that time on, 
the game was all for the Portland- 
ers as they rolled up a 25-7 first 
half lead. 

Outstanding play for the locals 
was that of Forward Conrad Cline 
who swished 3 of the 4 field goals 
made and one free throw to pace 
the losers with 7 points. H. Kelsey 
for Lewis and Clark was high 
pointer with IP.. Forgson followed 
behind with 8 for the Portlanders. 

Both coaches, Kelsey Hinshaw 
of PC, and Eldon Fix of the L and 
C'ers used nearly three teams dur- 
ing the tilt. The Pioneers have 
won a previous cage tussle to the 
tune of 75-34 in the season's open- 
er for the Quakers.

Former Students 
Announce Engagement 

During the Christmas week 
the engagement of Miss Elnora 
Liebnow and Mr. William Pot- 
ter was announced. Both were 
students of Pacific college last 
year although at the present 
time Elnora is attending busi- 
ness school in Portland and Bill 
is serving with Uncle Sam's 
navy.

Secrecy Of Unopened Boxes 



Christmas is over. The tree has 
been put away. Santa <3laus has 
made his regular visit and all the 
surprizes have sprung — including 
that jack-in-the-box you got for 
Grandpa. But old Santa, in the 
form of P.C. boys and gals has left 
gifts to be used and appreciated all 
year. Yes, finally all the "steadies" 
around school have revealed the 
reasons for those furtive trips 
down town, and the secret pack- 
ages hidden under the bed have 
been dragged out, unlinted, and 
given away. Now conversations 
can resume the usual speculation 
on Kilroy instead of running like 
this one we overheard between 
Chris and Divonna. 

Divonna: "Well, what did you 
get me?" 

Chris: "Oh, I dunno." 

Divonna: "Oh, you do, too. It is 
round?" 

Chris: "Nope." 

Divonna: "Is it square?" 

Chris: "Nope." 

Divonna: "Is it rectangular?" 
Chris: "Nope." 

And so on, ad infinitum. The last 
we heard, she was up in theHriaxo- 
gon stage with Chris still giving 
out with a genuine Willy Lump- 
lump "nope". 

It seems the big surprise was a 



variety of shapes. A beautiful 
dresser set was what Divonna 
found in her package from Chris. 
He received a rust colored sweat- 
er courtesy curious Divonna. 

Mickey Cole intercepted the let- 
ter that her brother Art, wrote to 
Santa, and found he 'specially 
wanted some loud striped socks. 
Sister Mickey obliged, so next time 
you see Art, take notice of those 
socks — as if you could do other- 
wise. 

A beautiful Bible with "Wayne 
E. Antrim" engraved in gold on 
the cover was Eleanor Swanson's 
gift to her blonde. She received 
from him a lovely strand of pearls. 

Pearls were popular among P.C. 
gifts. Also getting a lovely string 
— this time a single strand of La- 
guna pearls — was Mickey Thies- 
sen from — you guess. Mickey gave 
Homer a moss green sweater and 
some heavenly smelling after- 
shave lotion. Consequently, Homer 
goes around toasty warm and 
smelling — ummmm, nice, thanks to 
his thoughtful girl friend. 

"Merry Christmas" was express- 
ed to Daryl Hockett by Ruth 
Engle with a neat 616 Browning 
camera. 

Jack Cadd ordered a lovely cor- 
sage for his mother for Christmas. 



NEEDED: STARGAZERS 

Mankind needs a new dream. 

The old dreams are threadbare with use and abuse. They 
have been kicked around so much that they no longer mean 
anything. The frontier has vanished. The concepts of liberty, 
justice and democracy have lost their meanings or have be- 
come the topics for endless debate. Men have learned to fly 
like birds, swim like fishes and burrow in the ground like 
moles. 

And fight like mad dogs. 

Mankind needs a new dream — a dream that is new in 
its hopes of realization, yet as old as the race of men itself, 
that was dreamed when the first man reached his hand toward 
the stars. 

Man has the technical ability and the scientific knowl- 
edge today to reach the stars. The army is conducting experi- 
ments with guided rockets and predicts that it will reach the 
moon within 18 months. 

If the nations of the earth would pour their resources 
into the conquest of the universe, they might have no time 
or energy left to worry about conquering their earth-bound 
neighbors. 

The rewards would be great. The have-not nations 
might find their natural resources infinitely increased by 
the exploitation of new planets and new satelites. Life itself 
would take on a new vigor, a new meaning. There would be 
new frontiers. 

Why should we scramble for a few miles of disputed 
earth when there is a universe to conquer ? Call the star-struck 
dreamers fools, idealists, and madmen. Call yourselves real- 
ists and practical men of the world, but your world is small 
and battle- weary ; your horizons close you in like prison walls. 

There may be peace again when man can dream a new 
dream and reach up to touch a star.

"Sweets to the Sweet" was the 
policy of Gordon St. George. He 
gave Lois Elkins a box of choco- 
lates. Gordon was pleasantly sur- 
prised with a trip diary from Lois. 

Adele and Enid Briggs both se-

Santa's spy hasn't yet discovered 
what Enid received from Ross, but 
we did find that Rollo gave Adele 
a shiny gold set containing an ex- 
pansion bracelet and a heart-shap- 
ed locket. 

Tall and handsome Bert Frazier 
now is the proud owner of a royal 
blue scarf given to him by his one 
and only from Portland, Eleanor 
Armstrong. 

Speaking of being a proud owner, 
you can scarcely speak to Dick 
Cadd without hearing all about 
and being shown the cute little 
flashlight and metal tool box from 
his Helen. They must have been 
just what he wanted! And part of 
that dreamy look in Helen's eyes 
is because of the wonderful bottle 
of Black Magic perfume from Dick. 

Glenn Moor gave* Barbara Magee 
a Dan Marx set. Here's another 
girl who had a super Christmas 
surprise. 

A cuddly teddy bear from Clair 
made Lois Clark's Christmas more 
pleasant. She gave him a beauti- 
ful gold identification bracelet. 

Weding bells are forthcoming 
for Don Johnson and Vera Jones, 
and his presents to her hint of a 
grand future together. Vera was 
the happy recipient of a corsage, 
a book of Don's own poems, a set

and sugar bowl. 

Just ask these kids, it's grand to 
be going steady at Christmas time!

Pacific Plays Host to Lewis and Clark Quint 



BY HARLOW ANKENY 
Crescent Sports Editor 

This reporter was quite impress- 
ed by a suggestion made at the 
last MAA meeting which stated 
that the school should have a mid- 
year letter award assembly, pre- 
ferrably before Christmas vaca- 
tion, during which awards would 
be given to the letter winners in 
football and baseball. 

At present only one letter award 
assembly is held during the year 
and according to this writer's in- 
formation that one is held some- 
time during the latter part of the 
school year. If this is so, then cer- 
tainly another award assembly 
during the year would prove very 
advantageous. The biggest advan- 
tage of having two instead of the 
usual one letter award assembly 
of the year hinges on the fact that 
the letter winners would be able 
to wear their letter sweaters in 
school the rest of the academic 
year. As it is, the letter earners 
sometimes do not get to wear their 
pride and joy for more than a 
couple of weeks. In considering 
this fact also, we must remember 
that many times students drop out 
after one year and do not get to 
wear the sweaters only the short 
time they are on the campus after 
the late spring vacation. 

'Twould really be a good idea in 
the opinion of this department. It 
also doesn't look as if it would 
be too difficult for the program 
to be staged. Why not give the let- 
ter winners their due respect? 
History Being Made 

Many sport events have taken 
place during the past month and 
a number of these will go down in 
history, such as the near upset 
of the great Army gridiron crew 
by a fighting Navy team not too 
long ago. Maybe the news made 
at the Pacific college institution 
will not go down in the historical 
files of national sports, but it cer- 
tainly will go down in our books 
as one of the biggest sport events 
of the local school. This news, as 
most of you have probably already 
guessed, is the near completion of 
the huge Hester Memorial gym. It 
won't be too long a time now when 
the court of the new building will 
be in easy access for an improved 
physical education program at the 
school. 

Speaking of the gym, it would 
be well to mention here the future 
possibilities of it. With markings 
for two volley ball courts, two bas- 
ketball crosscourts, a badminton 
court ( a doubles layout), and of 
course the full-sized basketball 
zone, the building will prove to be 
a very busy sport plant as soon as 
it is completed. 

But there is still one more area 
on the campus that should defin- 
itely be taken care of as soon as 
possible. That area of course is 
the "scar of the campus," the un- 
finished tennis court next to the 



administration building. This par- 
ticular "scar" has oft been men- 
tioned when sports are talked of 
around the campus, and the truth 
of the situation is that the local 
sport critics aren't the only ones 
asking about it! Other schools vis- 
iting the campus must also won- 
der what "on earth" the "scar" 
is supposed to be. 
Outlook Department: 

Prospects seem to be a good 
topic to talk about at this time of 
the year when there is a lull be- 
tween the two major sports of 
fall and winter. The possibilities of 
the coming basketball season seem 
to point to one thing: With addi- 
tional practice a pretty fair hoop 
squad can be whipped into shape, 
here at PC. The present starting 
five, that is, the one that started 
the Lewis and Clark game several 
weeks ago consists pf four letter- 
men, namely Dale Parrish, Arnold 
Booth, Norval Hadley and Earl 
Craven. In addition to these four 
several other basketballers have 
shown promises of what they are 
made of. Will not mention names 
here as an unbiased writer, but 
we will make the statement that 
if the team is whipped into shape 
soon a very successful hoop sea- 
son for Pacific college is in store. 
Scores Prove Interesting 

Several colleges in this area 
will be rivals in the near future 
for Pacific college's cage quint, 
when the basketball season gets 
into full swing. So we decided to 
publish from time to time scores 
of other games between these col- 
leges. Here are several of these 
scores which were results of 
games during the past month : Lin- 
field 57, OCE 38; Linfield 70, OCE 
29; OCE 52, Lewis and Clark 49; 
Willamette 66, Vanport extension 
of OSC 33. Most of these teams 
mentioned above will be met some- 
time this year by Pacific. By 
looking at these scores and com- 
paring them with the PC-Lewis 
and Clark game — well, it may turn 
out to be a tough season for the 
locals.

Schedule Still 
Not Complete 

Several games have been add- 
ed to the yet uncompleted sched- 
ule of basketball games for Pa- 
cific college since the last issue 
of the Crescent. The overall pic- 
ture remains about the same, how- 
ever, with a definitely heavy and 
tough schedule of tilts ahead for 
the local five. 

Some of the meetings will in- 
clude two games, one first team 
and one junior varsity. So far, no 
word of definite agreements have 
taken place with Vanport exten- 
sion of OSC, Reed college of Port- 
land, Multnomah college and 
Northwest Christian college of Eu- 
gene. 

The following games have been 
scheduled: 

December 17 — Lewis and Clark, 
here. 

December 21 — Clark Junior col- 
lege of Vancouver, here, (tentative) . 

January 10 — Linfield Junior 
Varsity, here. 

January 21 — Oregon College of 
Education, here. 

February 14 — Pacific Univer- 
sity, (both teams), here. 

February 21 — Oregon College of 
Education, there. 



Remember, Men! 

Girls Take Over Gym 

Pacific college's girl sport en- 
thusiasts are to take over the use 
of the gym on Tuesdays and 
Thursdays of each week starting 
at 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon. 
In addition to playing basketball, 
the gals are expected to go 
through rigorous physical educa- 
tion exercises. Miss Charlotte 
Macy is the director of girls' phy- 
sical education. 



Men's Group 
Holds Meeting 

That all wives of first string 
basketball players get complimen- 
tary tickets to athletic events; 
that the illegal wearing of letters 
and stripes should be abolished 
and that the school should have a 
mid-year letter award assembly 
were all suggestions made and ap- 
proved by members of the Men's 
Athletic association at the organ- 
ization's regular meeting on De- 
cember 6. 

Also brought up at the meeting, 
presided over by Arnold Booth, 
was a suggestion that the MAA 
should sponsor a dedication cere- 
money for the new gym and in so 
doing should invite various high 
school students who may show an 
interest in the school. Tying right 
in with this suggestion was one 
to attempt in getting the high 
school district tourney held in the 
Hester Memorial gym. 

Three men were appointed to 
handle all ticket sales of the cur- 
rent basketball season and they 
are Johnny Sommen, Gilbert 
Strand, and Wayne Antrim, who is 
also treasurer of the MAA. Ap- 
pointed to a committee to con- 
struct proper sidewalk facilities 
and parking space were Roger 
Minthorne, Gordon St. George and 
Norv Hadley. 

In reference to the mid-year let- 
ter award assembly the athletic 
group decided to turn the matter 
over to the student-faculty com- 
mittee on cooperation. 



Locals Inaugurate New Gym 
Tomorrow Nite at 8 O'clock 

Inaugurating the use of their new Hester Memorial gym, Pa- 
cific college basketballers will play host to the Lewis and Clark Pio- 
neers from Portland tomorrow night in an 8:00 o'clock game. The 
tilt, which is the third of the season for the locals is a return match 
with the cage crew from the Rose

Lewis and Clark 
Cagers Tip P. C. 
75-34onDec.6 

Lewis and Clark's athletic teams 
seem to have a mania for high 
scores against the Pacific college 
Quakers, for on December 6 the 
basketball gents of the Portland 
college rolled up a 75 point tally 
in holding the locals to a 75-34 
ball game. Earlier in the year the 
L and C footballers rolled up a 
51-0 count against a fighting 
Quaker eleven. The game was the 
first for the season for PC ex- 
cluding a practice game with Lin- 
field's Jr. Varsity. 
Half-Tune Score 24-10 

High scores are not alway an 
indication of possibilities of a 
team, however, and the Pacific 
five proved that point when they 
'come back on the floor the second 
half with only 10 points chalked 
up to their credit to fight the fast 
passing — fast breaking Pioneers 
for 24 additional counters. The 
half time score for the fracus was 
34-10. 

Booth High for PC 

Standing out for the Lewis and 
Clark cage crew was Lund, for- 
ward, who marked up 14 of the 
enemy's total points, mostly lay- 
ins. The Kelsey brothers also 
stood out for the Pioneers, each 
sinking 10 points. Arnie Booth, 
Norv Hadley and Clair Smith were 
all high pointers for the local five 
with Booth especially standing out 
in the guard post. Booth canned 
11 points, Hadly 9, and Smith 8. 

The two teams are slated to 
meet at the PC gym tomorrow 

night for a return match.

City. The L and C'ers whipped the 
Pacifies in a previous game in 
Portland to the tune of 75-34. 

In preparation for this game 
tomorrow night and ones to fol- 
low during the season, Coach Kel- 
sey Hinshaw has run the basketball 
aspirants of the local institution 
through some practice skirmishes 
on one of the cross-courts during 
the past week. The floor in its en- 
tirity is not yet able to be used 
and as a result has hampered the 
development of "wind" In the in- 
dividuals of the squad. 

Altogether some 20 men have 
turned out consistently for the 
hoop sport during the past two 
weeks. Looking like the best pos- 
sibilities are Dale Parrish, Arnie 
Booth, Earl Craven, Norval Had- 
ley, Conrad Cline, Clair Smith, 
Bob Hurford, Eugene Smith, Ray 
Balnea, Clyde Faber, Wayne An- 
trim, Kenny Miller, Vern Bright- 
up, Bert Frazier, Harold Johnson, 
Jack Cadd, Don Wurtz, Floyd 
Brown, Dean Peterson, Bob Arm- 
strong and Wilbur Undershur. 

Probable starting lineup for to- 
morrow night's game will be the 
same as the previous PC-L & C 
game. Hinshaw will probably 
start Hadley and Cline at for- 
wards, Booth and Parrish at the 
guard posts and Earl Craven or 
Clair Smith as the center post.

THE APPRECIATION 
OF POETRY 
A paper prepared especially for 

the Crescent by James Greer 
Ibout the author . . . 

A mathematics and physics 
najor with the (indisputable repu- 
fttlon of being' the best-informed 
tudent hi his field, Jim here evi- 
euces a great deal of probing 
lto another subject high on his 
St of interests. 

The cultivation of poetry is 
ever more to be desired than 
'hen our material accumulations 
cceed our powers of assimilation, 
oday more than ever before, there 
sems to be an excess of the sel- 
sh and calculating principle, 
ttetry and the affairs of the pres- 
it world, to which most men of 
icessity give their time and en- 
gy, are relatively immiscible. In 
eh times some people, weary of 
e nervous pace of their own ex- 
;ence — the sharp impact of the 
.ppenings of the day — turn to 
etry with the desire to under- 
ind and to enjoy it in as signif i- 
at a manner as possible. 
Unfortunately, the ability to ap- 
pelate poetry is not a native abil- 
' — is not a possession common to 
m. It is a capacity to be acquir- 

However, it is not impossible 
' the reasonably well-read per- 
il to acquire an accurate taste 

poetry. Most of its words oc- 
• over and over in prose; many 
! an intimate part of vocabu- 
les. But it is here that the prob- 
i of its appreciation manifests 
ilf, for poetry, through certain 
phasis, gains meaning which in 
se it does not possess. Read 
try as prose and its poetic 
anings are lost 

'oetry demands the power to 
:; so that we may exercise that 
rer, the ability to understand. 
Matthew Arnold so aptly said: 
is a hidden ground of thought 
lin."

Why is it we are forced to 
search for truth? Why can't we 
be agreed? Why does she seem 
obscure ? 

'Twould make life simpler if we 
could blend our differences to fit 
one pattern. 

You search for truth as well as 
I. For every unsolved question we 
seek an answer. And when we 
think we've found it, we disagree. 

What is truth after all?

PRENTICE THE PREACHER 

(Imitating Master's "Petite the Poet") 
Sighs to empty clouds, amen, amen, amen, 
Amen, amen, amen, like whirlwinds on an ash-heap — 
Soft little signs that the Spirit breathes 
But the great man makes a cyclone of. 
Testimonies; sermons and tracts 
Precisely cut from the same crisp doctrine; 
The prayers and the thoughts of the fathers are here. 
But what are they but a page that yellows? 
God all around me speaking each day; 
Love, rebirth, faith and victory — 
Temperance, truth, peace and sin — 
All in the book and oh, what messages ! — 
Creation, worship, sacrifice — 
Messages my people never heard. 
Sighs to empty clouds, amen, amen, amen 
Amen, amen, amen, like whirlwinds on an ash-heap. 
While Jesus died on the cross 
And Paul and Kagawa roar through the world !

In My 
Opinion 




In a paper dealing with the 
world economic situation which 
was read before the International 
Relations club, Dale Parrish, a his- 
tory major and member of the 
junior class, discussed briefly two 
major aspects of the current econ- 
omic problem: relief and world 
trade. 

A condensation of his material 
is printed below to stimulate 
thought and is not designed to 
present the final solution nor to 
advance all of the phases necessary 
to balance the world's monetary 
scales, at the present time strange- 
ly tipped. 
THE ECONOMIC SITUATION 

The economic situation in the 
world today is a hard one. to cope 
with. First of all we must con- 
sider the distribution of food and 
clothing to the destitute countries. 
This is a tremendous task and you 
can't settle it by just saying, 
"Let's ship it to them; we have 
plenty." A country isn't going to 
give something to another without 
some return! 

The next task is the actual dis- 
tribution of these goods when 
they arrive in the various coun- 
tries. As it now stands, a few 
people get most of the supplies 
and the majority go without. Black 
markets also play havoc with the 
supplies and cause a lot to be 
wasted. It is my opinion that 
these supplies must be distributed 
by various agencies assigned by 
the United Nations Organization. 
They will have to keep a careful 
check on everything and see that 
equal distribution takes, place. 
Various large stores or some such 
organ could be set up in principal 
cities as distribution centers. 

As to the reestablishment of 
trade, the greatest trouble lies 
with the currency exchange. Every 
country has a different value and 
the best solution seems to be to 
return to the gold standard. Then 
it will be up to the banks to see 
that the value of gold remains the 
same. 

There must also be freer trade. 
Not an absolute state of free trade, 
as the big countries would soon 
dominate the smaller ones, but the 
tariffs must be lowered consider- 
ably. The smaller nations can't 
afford to pay such high tariffs as 
we have in the United States and 
although they are in need of our 
export commodities, they are un- 
able to trade with us. 

These are only a few of the 
most puzzling situations. The 
whole problem is mighty intricate 
and will be difficult to settle. 



Mellowing Age 

THE MOST UNFORGETABLE .. 

CHARACTER I HAVE MET 

By Aldean Pitts 
It was on a Saturday afternoon 
as we were touring Klamath In- 
dian Reservation that we drove up 
to a little "shanty". We knocked 
at the door and slowly an elderly 
lady made her way to the door. 
She opened the door a little and 
asked who it was. Everett Tun- 
ning replied, "This is Everett Tun- 
ning from Sprague River, Aunt 
Jennie. I have brought a group of 
boys from Pacific college to sing 
for you." It was a joy to meet 
her. As we shook her hand she 
would say in quiet yet spirited 
tones, "Praise de Lord". 

Aunt Jennie Clinton, nearing her 
100th birthday and being blind the 
past twenty years is a Modoc In- 
dian converted out of savagery, 
through the efforts of Quakers 
back in Oklahoma. She was driven 
from Oregon as a result of the 
Modoc war. 

After her conversion she became 
a zealous preacher. Before coming 
back to Oregon she preached at 
one of the sessions of the Kansas 
Yearly Meeting. It ia reported 
that there wasn't a dry eye in the 
group. Upon her return to Oregon, 
she traveled over the reservation 
by horse and buggy preaching the 
gospel, with many converts. 

As we sang and read scripture 
to her she would keep praising the 
Lord. She related many interest- 
ing experiences too numerous to 
mention. 

Regardless of her very homely 
features she was the most beauti- 
ful women I have ever met because 
of the radiance that shown from 
her life. The humble hut seemed 
to be a mansion because it was the 
home of Aunt Jennie. To know her 
was to love her. Her "Praise the 
Lord" still rings in my ears and 
challenges my heart. Aunt Jennie 
is a living testimony to the trans- 
forming power of God. 

(To all who would like to see 
a picture of Aunt Jennie contact 
"Tex" Pitts.) 



A CHRISTMAS MEDITATION 

No matter how we praise Him — 
Son of God sent down that 
night — 

We know that choirs of angels 
In their robes of heavenly light 
Are singing alleluyas 

Far surpassing ealthly praise. 
Ah — that we could join that 
chorus 

And the ageless anthems raise!
